• Commonwealth country themed clothing or colours
• Green and Gold to celebrate Australia

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi!

Kindergarten Milestone!

It is hard to believe that our Kindergarten students have already completed their first semester of school! Over the past six months, we have been delighted to watch them grow in confidence, develop new skills and become increasingly independent learners.

On July 30th we will celebrate one hundred days at school.

Thank you for the important role you play in supporting your child's independence.

Education Week - Open Day 5 August 2026

Public Education Week 2026 is the first week of August. Public Education Week is a time to come together and celebrate the strength, diversity and achievements of NSW public education. Every day at Carlingford West PS we aim to inspire student excellence. 

We will be opening our school to celebrate our learning on Wednesday 5th August. 

Student Code of Conduct

In our school everyone belongs and strives for the highest standards of learning. The attached Student Code of Conduct will begin to be explicitly taught next term in our school by our class teachers. 

The posters below will be visible and on display in all of our classrooms.  

Modern Languages

At Carlingford West Public School, we are proud to offer Modern Languages as part of our curriculum to students from Kindergarten to Year 6. Learning a modern language helps students develop communication skills, cultural understanding, and an appreciation for diversity. Our current language offerings include Chinese, Korean, and Hindi.

Parents and carers can support their child's language learning by encouraging practice at home through conversations, songs, games, and exploring cultural connections. Embracing languages at Carlingford West enriches our students’ learning and opens doors to a world of possibilities!
